Old Book, New Art


For Tropical Storm Lee, MR and I stayed at my parents house and spent most of the 3 day weekend pent up inside watching movies and such.  However, on Monday afternoon the rain stopped, the flood waters subsided, the weather became freakishly nice and we ventured onto the porch with an old book, a few craft paints, a bucket of beer(key to surviving a tropical storm) and some snacks.
 
 Sometimes little people come to visit and take over our dates. We're okay with it :)
(she is wearing her cousins jammies b/c I didn't want her pretty dress to get covered in paint!)
This was the outcome and I love them both oh so much!  I chose to keep it simple with some lyrics from this song.  How talented is my MR with a paint brush?  Love his little Indian man!


9 love notes:

  1. Wow what amazing art. I love how you turned something so simple, into something so refreshing!
